Chapter 51 Scattered Sakura

The first floor is rented for catering, the second and third floors are Internet cafes, and the fourth and fifth floors are for individuals.

In fact, Gu Xueli’s residence is in a single room on the fifth floor, and her job as a network administrator works 12 hours a day, including food and accommodation.

I basically stay in this building 24 hours a day, working on the second floor and sleeping on the fifth floor.

Like an infinite prison.

"Little landlord, do you want to accompany me upstairs?" She narrowed her eyes as she spoke, with a hint of a bad woman seducing her younger brother.

An Ting knew that this woman only regarded herself as a younger brother whom she had grown up with, and teasing was just a playful way of getting along.

Anting didn’t pay much attention to the way she spoke and asked: “Can’t you just go out?”

“Hey, my sister hasn’t gone out with a boy for a long time, and it’s rare to go out on a date. , of course you have to be well prepared."

"Speak in human terms." Anting said angrily.

"The smell of cigarette smoke is too strong. I want to change my clothes." As she spoke, she opened the collar of her clothes, put it in front of her nose, and smelled it.

The movement of lifting the clothes was a little rough, revealing a hint of youth. It was not an average junior high school student like Song Ci, but very interesting...

Anting saw a little bit of youth, Anyway, it was not the first time I saw him, so he didn’t take it too seriously, so he said helplessly: "Be careful in front of me, I am not a child."

"Yes." Gu Xueli replied.

　“And…”

　“What else?”

　“If you can, quit smoking.”

Hearing this, Gu Xueli was silent for a while and did not answer.

Gu Xueli is a very depressed person. Smoking, drinking, music and the Internet are the keynotes of her life. Otherwise, she would spend some time dressing up like a gorgeous poppy. flower.

Looking for changes in an unchanging life day after day is like a drowning person who cannot scream for help. Once he calls for help, he will only choke on more water.

Anting was a little worried about the woman's condition, but followed her upstairs.

Although it is his own place, Anting rarely goes up to the fourth or fifth floors, as all outsiders live here.

At this moment, after walking through it again, Anting looked at Gu Xueli's back, and suddenly remembered some memory fragments.

In the past... I seemed to come here often to play with Gu Xueli, when I was very young...

Later, due to various reasons, I stopped coming up.

After a while, Anting came to Gu Xueli's single room. It had one bedroom and one bathroom. The environment was average. Fortunately, it had a balcony facing the main road, so it wasn't particularly depressing.

A very messy room for a woman living alone. The single bed in the corner was covered with clothes, takeout boxes and wine bottles were placed on the table beside it, and there were cigarette ashes on the floor.

As soon as she entered the door, Gu Xueli looked at the messy room and said casually without hesitation: "Sit down for a while."

"Well..."

The boy sat on the bed and watched Gu Xueli go into the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.

The bathroom has a classic green painted iron door.

In fact, I couldn’t see anything, let alone anything ambiguous and charming.

About ten minutes later, Gu Xueli changed into clean clothes and came out, wearing a pink T-shirt + denim shorts, a pair of slippers, tattoos and jewelry.

How should I put it, she really doesn’t look like a serious girl.

And the same goes for Anting, short-sleeved T-shirt + big pants, and slippers.

It’s really just the same type.

On the bus, many people stayed away.

The musical instrument store is located in the urban area of ​​Beicheng District. It should be the only musical instrument store in Beicheng District. The last time Gu Xueli repaired her guitar was here. The boss is a woman in her twenties with an unattractive appearance. Her full name is Su Meishan and Gu Xueli called her Meimei. They seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Anting has seen Gu Xueli have a friend...

Apart from himself...

Anting is a small town in the town. He is famous, but this is already the urban area of ​​Beicheng District, and no one knows him, at least not Meimei.

She whistled and said: "Wow, Xueli, you really are here. I have never had a man, but I found a boy."

Gu Xueli is not a little girl. It was impossible for a girl to blush at such a joke, so she just retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, this is my little landlord. He just finished his high school entrance examination, and I just came with him to buy a guitar."

"Oh." As she spoke, Su Meishan waved to Anting to show friendship.

An Ting nodded, which was regarded as a response, and found another blind spot, and smiled: "Sister Xueli, haven't you ever been in love?"

This question can be answered. It was a bit of a break for Gu Xueli.

Before Gu Xueli could answer, Su Meishan on the side said first: "Well...it looks very astringent on the surface, but actuallyIt's really pure, you can think about it, brother. "

Gu Xueli said helplessly: "Stop talking nonsense, I am seven years older than him. ”

After hearing this, Anting found out that Gu Xueli’s real age was 22 or 23 years old.

Su Meishan just gave up and stopped joking.

The process of buying a guitar is not that important. What is important is that Anting found that this musical instrument store has a fairly professional recording studio, and the store owner named Meimei seems to be quite professional.

If it is in a band, Gu Xueli is only the guitarist and lead singer. If you really want to produce a song, you will not be able to rely on these alone. You need a more professional person.

Not just for "secretbase" 》The theme song has other purposes...

Before leaving, Anting exchanged contact information with Meimei on the grounds of after-sales service.

　……

Today in 2006, in an environment where private cars are still expensive and online ride-hailing has not yet appeared, buses have penetrated countless people’s daily lives.

The era of buses is in The pinnacle.

There is a very classic route in City C, bus No. 29, which runs between the north and south of the city, and the hometown town is one of the stops.

This moment.< br />
As night fell, Anting carried the newly purchased guitar on his back and took Route 29 back to the town with Gu Xueli. It was only half an hour’s drive from downtown Beicheng District to his hometown town. The two took the bus. On the special seat for the disabled facing the car door.

There is no other meaning, it is simply that there is no one in these two seats.

Being bored, Anting asked: "Do you rarely go out? "

Gu Xueli looked at the rapidly moving scenery in front of her and replied casually: "Well, I basically won't leave the town, and I rarely even leave your building. There is no need to leave. There is nowhere to go. "

"Aren't you going home during the Spring Festival? ”

Gu Xueli shook her head.

Gu Xueli is in a very strange stage of life.

Can’t go back to her hometown, can’t go far away, stuck in In this small town.

She doesn’t go home during the holidays because her home is far away. It’s expensive to fly and it takes a long time to take the train. It’s not safe yet. Her family asked her to save the fare. , send more money home.

As for traveling to distant places, there is no need to even think about it.

For a time, Gu Xueli’s frustration leaked out...

　Anting scratched his head. This pink-haired elder sister was so sad, but she was also reasonably sad.

Anting is actually very accepting of this situation. His family collects rent, like seventy-two tenants. Almost all the people living in his building are In such a situation, there is a survivor bias. After all, people from other places who don’t go to big cities to hang out, but go to small towns like this, basically have no abilities.

When the bus arrived at the intersection of the town, it was actually diagonally opposite the commercial plaza. The two got off the bus. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Gu Xueli thought they would just say goodbye, but Anting didn't press the button. The routine was played and he walked towards the steps of the commercial plaza.

　“Where are you going and what are you doing?”

　“Don’t leave, come here and teach me how to play the guitar.”

　Isn’t it right? I couldn't bear to watch this frustrated elder sister go back alone. Secondly, he really needed a master to guide him. It was so old that he couldn't remember how to play the guitar.

Gu Xueli did not refuse, "Oh..."

Since the commercial plaza is called a square, it means that there is a large open space and a staircase.

On midsummer night, many people like to sit here and chat.

An Ting and Gu Xueli found a corner with no one nearby. The latter’s eyes would only shine when she was playing music. She showed dissatisfaction with guiding Anting. Worldly enthusiasm.

“I didn’t expect him to be such a good teacher.” Anting was a little surprised.

Gu Xueli did not answer directly. It was Anting who taught her when she was a child. When she grew up, it was her turn to teach Anting. She found it very interesting.

When I was learning, Anting was a little surprised. As expected, there was still a certain amount of muscle memory in this body. After just trying it a few times, it became very smooth.

Since his rebirth, Anting has always had a song he wanted to listen to - "Seeyou Again", which fits his mood of seeing those who have passed away again.

Although I can’t remember so many songs, I still remember a few of them clearly.

This is one of them.

At this moment, I had the guitar in my hand and pretended to play it. The first few notes were correct, but then everything got messy.

Gu Xueli on the side was stunned for a while, but then thought it was just a coincidence.

An Ting smiled awkwardly and said: "I have to practice more, I'm too rusty."

Rebirth is not a panacea, and you still have to spend time working hard where you need to work hard. effort.

“Yeah.”

Gu XueliWhen he got excited, he took Anting's guitar, closed his charming eyes, and started playing a skewer. Anting's judgment was correct. Gu Xueli really had no talent and was not good at creating, but she was a first-rate imitator.

Under the night, Gu Xueli sat on the steps of the square, immersed in the world of music. Under the moonlight and the city street lights, when the wind blew, her pink hair flowed in the wind, like a girl. There is a cherry blossom tree, and the fingers painted with pink nail polish dance on the guitar, like loose cherry blossoms.

It is indeed not a poppy flower.
